Sorry for the wait, this chapter got away from me a bit. The classes were a little awkward to write so let me know what you think.
Anisuke was awoken the next morning by his mates attempting to leave the bed without him noticing, which is most definitely impossible with the way they tended to sleep. They all looked sheepish as he glared and grumbled as he entered the bathroom to get ready for his first day of class.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anisuke was one of the first students to make it down for breakfast for obvious reasons and had to wait several minutes for Professor McGonagall to notice that one of her lions actually made it to breakfast before the Ravenclaws. She handed him his schedule with a small smile and he looked over it quickly before wishing he had just stayed in bed.

Wonderful, not only did he have the majority of his classes with Slytherin, which he expected, but he had every one of the lessons that his mates taught with Slytherin. Dumbledore was obviously trying to make life as difficult as he could, well two could play that game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anisuke walked into the Potions classroom almost ten minutes early and took a seat near the front of the classroom. He was hoping that he would be able to pass through the class without having to talk to Ron or Hermione; he knew that if the two of them wanted to talk to him they would wait until the last minute outside of the door as he normally barely made it on time. As the classroom filled with students he found himself almost surrounded by Slytherin students that wouldn't meet his eyes, except for Malfoy, he nodded before he took the seat on his right. Neville was the only Gryffindor that braved the Slytherins to take the seat on his left. Ron and Hermione entered separately only moments before class started, proving him correct.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Snape strode into the classroom with his normal flair but almost lost his composure when he noticed that both Potter and Longbottom were sitting in the front of the class with his Slytherins and they looked comfortable. Draco was sitting right next to Potter and looked to be more relaxed then he could ever remember seeing his godson, it would seem that this year was going to be full of surprises; he only hoped that he survived. He wrote the instructions on the board, he was going to have them read over the history of the potion that they were going to make next class; he didn't think they needed a review, if they didn't remember that was their problem. He retreated to his desk and proceeded to discreetly watch his godson and the boy he found that he hardly knew anything about.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anisuke had already studied the potion that they were going to make the next class so he pulled out his Divination book from third year and started to read. He figured that while Trelawney was a fraud that only had the occasional prophecy, true seers existed so he might as well read the book.
He noticed out of the corner of his eye that Draco wasn't reading about the potion either, which wasn't all that surprising considering the fact that he was a Potion Master's godson after all. After a few minutes he felt Draco's eyes shift to him and he let him stare for several minutes before he put his book away and turned toward him at their table. "Is there something that you want to ask me, Draco?"
Draco seemed to be taken aback by the usage of his first name, but he recovered quickly enough as the students in the general area, all Slytherins, glanced over in interest. "I wanted to know several things. Why are you sitting with us? Whose side are you going to be on? Are those men really your mates and what exactly are they? And what kind of teachers do you think that they are going to be?" He spoke low enough that only those within a couple of seats would have a prayer of hearing him, unless they weren't human of course.
Anisuke was actually surprised that he just came out and asked him, he thought that they would sit back and try to figure it out themselves. Not that he was going to complain of course. "Well, I'm sitting here because Hermione and Ronald would never sit anywhere near a 'snake', I also wanted to be in one of the best seats in the classroom." He tilted his head in thought. "As for what side I am on, I am and have always been on my own side. As far as the Light and the Dark are concerned, it would depend on who could explain their reasons for fighting this war the best." All of the Slytherins in range gaped, though Draco managed to hold his composure, barely. "Those men are my mates and I love them all. As teachers they are all different. Sesshomaru will be very strict; do not take anything he says lightly. If he tells you to do something he expects you to do it immediately and will accept nothing else. Kouga is more relaxed and is more likely to let certain things slide, though he will expect everyone to do exactly what their told, he probably wouldn't punish small pranks so long as they were on Hermione and Ronald." Most of the Slytherins smirked. "Naraku is the one that you will have to watch out for; he could make even Voldemort look like a grandfather figure." He watched as most of them paled, including Draco and Neville. "He is vicious and sadistic; if someone disobeys he will make their life a living, breathing hell on Earth. He is not a nice person in any sense of the world unless he considers you family, so if he says jump, jump."
Anisuke turned back to the front and took his book back out, the others gradually turned back as they digested his little speech. He knew that he had scared them and he hoped that they took him to heart. Naraku was not Onigumo, but he was not a goody two shoes either. He loved the man and knew it was returned and he would trust him with his life, but he knew that none of the people that had hurt him in any way would be alive now if he hadn't begged them all to leave it be.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anisuke left Potions with Neville and they both sprinted down the corridor with Hermione on their heels, they barely made it into the Transfigurations classroom without her cornering them, Anisuke almost pulled out his yokai speed to get away, but he didn't want to leave Neville both knew that they would end up having to sit next to her in class but they were hoping that she would hold her tongue with a teacher present.
They both sighed as they took two seats at the front with Hermione huffing as she plopped gracelessly in the seat on Anisuke's other side. "Harry, I need to talk to you." Anisuke turned toward her, desperately trying to keep the disgust off of his face. "You can't believe that horrible article in the Daily Prophet, I would never do something like that to you. You saved my life and you were my first best friend! I just want everything to go back to the way they were before. No one will even talk to me, and they just glare at me all the time, I can't take much more. Please, you have to believe me." She widened her eyes and tried to go for the most innocent look she could muster.
Anisuke could feel his temper slipping; she was actually trying to make him feel sorry for her. "Ms. Granger, I have no proof that anything in the paper was false, though I do have evidence that it was factual. So if you are intent to prove yourself to be a victim in this you will have to find something stronger then your word to do it." He watched with a small sense of satisfaction as her face fell slack with shock and she looked to be almost hyperventilating. He turned to the front and ignored her as McGonagall walked into the room and gave her beginning year speech with almost half of it focusing on the fact that it was OWL year and they would be working twice as hard as usual, which earned a loud groan from Ronald that earned him detention on the first day of class.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anisuke walked into the Defense against the Dark Arts classroom with a rather nervous Neville following behind. Most of the Slytherins were already in the room and they were all quiet as they waited for the teacher, they obviously took his words to heart, that and the fact that the previous classes that had him today had at least seven kids being sent out of the room in hysterics, two had to be sedated. He sat in the empty seat next to Draco as Neville sat next to him. He couldn't wait to see how they all reacted to Naraku.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naraku glided into the room with a glare already on his face, his previous classes were a sorry bunch of nitwits. His face lightened slightly when he saw that his little mate was sitting in the front row with the same boy that he had had dinner with last night. "Welcome to my classroom, not that I am particularly happy to see you here. Today will be an evaluation on your current knowledge or lack there of. I will call you up and you will tell me your full name, your age and what you are going to do after Hogwarts. I will then ask you a series of questions that you will answer immediately, I will then tell you the likelihood of you making it to your dream as you are now and what you will have to do to accomplish it. This relates to the class as it is OWL year which is one of the tests that will determine what classes you can continue to take and what you will be qualified to do after you leave the school." Most of the students paled.
Naraku grinned as he stared at the terrified class in front of him and began his 'evaluation'. He sent quite a few students back to their seats in tears. "Ms. Granger." He watched as the girl stood up and sauntered up to his desk as if she thought that she had nothing to worry about.
Hermione knew that she could do whatever she wanted when she got out of Hogwarts, she was the most intelligent witch in the school after all. "My name is Hermione Ann Granger and I am sixteen years old and I will be a politician when I graduate, one day I will be the Minister." She stared at the professor as if daring him to say anything, she started to feel nervous when he just stared back as a smirk crossed his face and his eyes got a little darker.
Naraku watched as the little know it all's confident façade faltered a bit before she managed to collect herself. "Are you a pureblood? Do you know a pureblood that will marry you? Do you have a multitude of friends and allies? How many people are there in Wizarding England? Why were the laws governing magical creatures created? Why are House Elves bound to Wizards and Witches? Why is the United States the only magically country that hasn't been colonized by the magical community? What is the most common truth agent? What is the most powerful way of ascertaining if what you are hearing is the truth? How does the Ministry keep tabs on the Dementers? How is the Minister elected into office?"
Hermione paled as she tried to find the answers in her head. "I am not a pureblood. I don't know if any of the purebloods I know would marry me." She studiously ignored the cough that sounded suspiciously like 'no way in hell'. "I do not have many friends. I would say that there are only several thousand people in Wizarding England. The laws governing magical creatures were created because they are dangerous and need to be controlled. House Elves are enslaved to wizards because purebloods don't want to do any of the work around their own houses." Almost all of the students glared and several, Anisuke included, growled. "The United States is the home of the Salam Witch trails and they are too scared of a reoccurrence. The truth potion is the most common truth agent, and the most powerful way to know that what someone is saying is the truth. All of the Dementers are in Azkaban. The Minister is elected by popular vote." She finished strongly, she knew that there were a couple things that she didn't have the answers to, but they wouldn't stop her.
Naraku tilted his head back and let out a sinister laugh that sent a shiver down the class's backs, Anisuke was the only one that didn't find it terrifying. "That's rather interesting; you don't have a chance in hell of getting to your little dream. The only muggleborn Minister was a woman who married a pureblood and had many connections through her husband, she was also one of the most popular students in Hogwarts, and she was killed by another muggleborn when she refused to give them a position of power just because he was also a muggleborn. There are several million magical people in England though some prefer to live in secret in the muggle world. Laws against magical creatures were created because the muggleborns that entered this world brought their fairy tales with them along with their irrational fear of anything that is not human, most magical creatures are peaceful and only want to be left alone. House Elves feed off of the magic of the wizard, witch or magical family that they are bound to, without the connection they would slowly starve to death. That is why Hogwarts has always lent a home to those House Elves that have been previously been released by their masters, the House Elves are bound to the castle and feed off of the collective magic of the inhabitants during the school year and the castle itself in the summer. No actual witches were harmed during the witch trials; after all there is a fire freezing charm." He smirked at the blush that covered her cheeks. "The magic of Northern America is free flowing, channeling it properly through a wand is next to impossible without some sort of grounding ward in place, and this however makes it the perfect place for magical creatures to get away from the restrictions placed on them here. The most common why to tell if someone is telling the truth is the truth potion, but the song of a phoenix is the most powerful way. No one can lie during a phoenix's song, though a phoenix can tell when someone is lying on their own. Dementers are under contract to the Ministry, they only stay in Azkaban because it is essentially a free buffet, you could tell if a Dementer left Azkaban as they would immediately begin mating, causing a very dense fog. The only exception would be if they were given a specific task to complete. The Ministry in no way controls the Dementers, they just offered them a good deal. The Minister is voted in by the Wizarding Gamut which is composed of one member of each of the noble pureblood houses. For example, Harry has multiple votes as he is the last remaining member of several noble houses. Draco's father has a vote for the Malfoy family and his mother had one for the Black family before Sirius was cleared. So without any connections among the elite, you have absolutely no chance of making office, especially with your complete lack of knowledge on the culture of the wizarding government." He took great pleasure in the look of horror that passed over her face and the tears that followed as she ran out of the room.
Naraku looked back at the list in his hands and continued with the evaluation, leading to several more breakdowns and a satisfied Neville, he really knew his plants, and Draco, he had all the knowledge and connections necessary to follow in his father's footsteps. "Mr. Potter." The name practically rolled off his tongue as he watched as his mate sauntered up to his desk.
Anisuke watched his mate's eyes brighten as he walked up to the desk and turned to face both the class and Naraku. "My name is Harry James Potter-Aeroius-Taisho-Ookami-Miasma and I am fifteen years of age and will most likely either end up as a house husband or a professor of defense if the three of you allow me to work of course." He sent a cheeky grin to his mate as he finished.
Naraku had to take a deep breath to keep from loosing his composure in front of the class. "What charm is used to repel Dementers? How do you repel a vampire? What are werewolves allergic to? What are some of the charms necessary to properly run a household? What are the charms necessary to run a nursery? How long is the average male pregnancy?" He greatly enjoyed the blush that spread across his mate's face.
"The charm to repel Dementers is the Patronus Charm, which creates a spectral image of your guardian animal that is made of pure happiness that a Dementer cannot feed off of. Vampires can only be repelled through the use of the Solar Charm which creates a bubble of intensified sunlight around the caster that the vampire cannot enter. Werewolves are highly allergic to silver; the smallest amounts can sometimes be fatal. To run a household you would need to know the Freshening Charm, the Laundry Charm, basic and complex cosmetics charms, and you would need to know the proper way to host a party and how to treat your guests. The charms to run a nursery are essentially the same except the fact that you cannot use concentrated magic to close to the baby to prevent damage to the developing magical core. The average male pregnancy is six months long as the male form is not as equipped to deal with a long pregnancy." Anisuke had to battle the blush all the way back to his seat after Naraku gave him a self satisfied nod to signal that he knew more then enough.
Naraku thoroughly enjoyed his mate's answers though it left him with images of small green and red eyed children running about. "Mr. Weasley."
Ronald walked up to the front of the classroom with a confident air; he didn't need any knowledge for what he wanted to be when he graduated. "My name is Ronald Bilbus Weasley and I am fifteen years old. When I get out of Hogwarts I will be a professional Quidditch player."
Naraku felt his eyebrows rise, what a childish goal. "What do you plan to do if you are not picked for a team? Do you even have a back up plan?" He watched as the boy's confident stance faltered slightly. "It takes a great amount of skill to play professionally at any level, if you do not have what it takes to make it on the team, which is likely as you are not on the house team, you will need a back up plan to make a living. It takes a supremely arrogant person to focus only on an athletic career; there are thousands of people just like you with even more talent who won't make it. What makes you think that you stand a better chance then they do?"
Ronald could feel his face heat up as he felt angrier then he had ever been before. "If you hadn't come along I would have had everything that I needed to get whatever I wanted. I was the best friend of the Boy-Who-Lived, I would have been able to get any job I wanted, I would have been famous and rich, but you had to come along and spread those lies through the paper and take Harry away from me! I spent four years putting up with him whining about his relatives while he got handed everything on a silver platter, I deserve to be famous, not that whiny little bitch!" He almost wet himself as blood red eyes without whites focused on him and a terrifying growl filled the room.
Naraku felt the intense urge to rip the pathetic little whelp's head off, even if he knew he couldn't do it, at least not right now. "You will serve detention with me and Harry's other two mates for the rest of the school year, every single day, including the weekend. You will also be forbidden to play Quidditch even in what little spare time you will have." He saw that the boy was going to say something but silenced him with a look that could almost kill. "I can do this as you have not only insulted a fellow student in a vile and degrading manner, but you have also admitted to using that student to further your own agenda without any concern for his well being. You should feel grateful that killing you is not an option, though I would greatly enjoy it. Your parents will also be given a full report on your behavior." He paused and let his words sink in. "Get out of my classroom and report for your first detention tonight after dinner with Professor Taisho." The boy left at a dead run with a widening patch of moisture in the seat of his pants, if only he could have spread his innards throughout the school.
